I propose the parents be disconnected - objections?
edited by Jill (Neibaur) Olson
I believe these two families should not be merged, due to significant errors and issues to be worked out, especially the apparently erroneous connection to Thomas and Elizabeth Hassend. 1) William Hasey (born 1618 or 1619 in England) settled near Boston: first in Pullen Point, then Rumney Marsh circa 1653/54 (later called Chelsea and N. Chelsea) which is today within Revere, Suffolk, MA. 2) I researched Thomas and Elizabeth Hassend in England. But so far, I found no connections with the Haseys. I believe it’s unlikely, because of the spelling, and also because in America, Thomas resided far from Rumney Marsh. Were you able to find a connection that I missed? 3) William Hasey's wife was called Sarah, but her surname is unknown. I searched persistently for her maiden name, but I only found the one church record, which simply called her Sarah. The church record says William’s wife, Sarah is the mother of Elizabeth, Sarah, and Hester. Most likely, she’s also mother to the younger children. One source says William may have had a wife prior to Sarah, but I haven’t been able to verify if the source is authentic. 4) William Hasey was not married to Sarah Seward. Sarah Seward lived near the Haseys, but she was married to someone else. My father says Sarah Seward's Probate provides proof that she was not William Hasey’s wife. In it, she lists her children - but the names and dates don't match with the Haseys. 5) This error, that William Hasey was supposedly married to Sarah Seward, has been copied extensively. But I spoke with the person who started the rumor that William Hasey’s wife was Sarah Seward – he posted that on a bulletin board at Ancestry.com, I believe. He proposed it as mere speculation (because there was someone named Sarah Seward who lived in the same neighborhood as William Hasey) - but never did any research at all. It turns out that Sarah Seward could not be William Hasey's wife (see #4) but the error has been widely replicated. 6) There are other discrepancies, probably minor things that can be straightened out if we compare notes and check citations. Thanks so much for doing all this.
If he was born in 1619 it was in the British Isles or Europe (probably England).
I am editing this profile to eliminate the unsourced fiction that he was born in Massachusetts.
